In a surprising turn of events in the 22nd round of the Bundesliga, Werder Bremen, aiming for European competition, hosted Hoffenheim, whose sole objective is to stay in the top division.

In this match, all the goals came from the visitors. Schlotterbeck inadvertently gave Werder the lead with an own goal in the 7th minute.

However, before the break, Stach and Bischof turned the game around, putting Hoffenheim ahead. Then, in the 63rd minute, Orban sealed the win for Hoffenheim, making it 3-1.

This victory allowed Hoffenheim to extend their lead to 7 points over Heidenheim and Bochum in 16th and 17th place, and 8 points ahead of last-placed Holstein Kiel.
